Hey Philip Next time you have a nasty stripped out screw like that, try using the dremel to cut a slit in the top with a cutting disk. Then you can get a bite on it with the flat head screwdriver. It doesn't work every time, but it's a last ditch effort before getting out the grinder and grinding away on the head.
You're right but cutting discs I had for the Dremel were too big for where the screw was. I just couldn't get in without damaging the surrounding plastic.
The box of working games is a bonus. It was well worth the effort. Can't think what happened to the audio while recording. It just went lower and lower until it wasn't picking anything up at all.
@@wisher21uk It's a USB mic so no batteries but I've just opened OBS, right clicked on the mic settings and noticed a 'lock volume' option. Problem solved. 😄
Excellent Job on the repair! I'm thinking of getting the RetroScaler2X as well for my AV famicom. 22:15 I noticed faint rainbow horizontal lines when you played the NES at the end of the video. Are those lines from the capture card? When playing on a TV do you have those rainbow lines as well?
I've just hooked the NES to the retroscaler and it does have horizontal lines which are paaarticulary noticebale on the flat background. Composite to the TV is much smoother. I'm not impressed. th-cam.com/channels/8x0hxOzJQEea5Qx2NzQ9ig.htmlcommunity?lb=Ugkxl4xD1mT3c1sn_tyOqxlGOe0xzqHiJ-TN
Was it? I've not heard of that before. Interesting. I can try it next time I have a rusty screw. I've tried drilling them out before but seriously melted the plastic posts they've been in.
@@PhilipBryden I was cringing...but glad you saw them. I take them apart all the time. It really doesn't hurt the value. Good idea because you will find quite a few fakes out there. Also, do you price check your games?
Awesome job Phil, always enjoy your videos
Thanks Matthew. I just need a few more thousand people like yourself to watch them too. ha ha.

Thanks Phil 😁
Glad you enjoyed it.😀

@@PhilipBryden yes an extra bonus 😁
Maybe the battery was going on your mic or it just had a gremlin 😊

Wasn't the fix for a rusty screw stuck in plastic to heat up the screw with a soldering iron untill it's good and hot, then try it.

You can take the games apart. There are 3 bits on the back. Easy.
I can't believe I missed those screws and started prying at the top. So glad I didn't snap any plastic.

When I found them, I think there was around £100 worth of games. The value has probably gone up a little since then.
